Russian Peacekeeper Lightly Wounded

A Russian peacekeeper was lightly injured after he was stabbed by unknown men in the Abkhaz conflict zone, the Russian news agencies reported citing Russian peacekeepers command.

The incident, which was described by the Russian peacekeeping command, as “an act of hooliganism” took place in the Zugdidi district on the Georgian side of the Abkhaz administrative border.

Earlier on May 28 the Georgian television station, Rustavi 2, reported that one Russian peacekeeper was injured with a gunshot after a dispute between, as the TV station put it, ethnic Russian and ethnic Chechen servicemen of the peacekeeping forces. The Georgian television stations are time after time reporting about cases of alleged confrontation among the Russian peacekeepers in the conflict zone.
